THOR #19013
I am a furniture manufacturer in High Point NC The trade brand is Durablend (sometimes called bonded leather (they actually mixed some crushed leather in it so it could be sold as leather lol didnt bond too well) There are several class action lawsuits in the residential furniture industry. There are multiple touch up kits on amazon but this is just masking the problem your pretty much going to have to replace it eventually. The car industry uses commercial grade uv protected vinyls and real fully died leathers. Believe it or not the frame for the sofas are decent foam is a little weak but acceptable. A typical captains chair takes 3 - 4 yards of fabric or 1.5 to two hides of leather a loveseat takes 6 to 8 yards of material (pattern no pattern reversible or not reversible cushions) so lets go with 20 yards total for coach The difference in cost between uv car or boat vinyl on wholesale level is 5 bucks a yard (direct from china). So on an 80k motorhome Thor could have put $100 more in it and we wouldnt have had this discussion
